This is speech, brief, but full of
inspiration, and opening the way to
all victory. 1t solves the problem of
all heroes it is the rule by which to
weigh rightly all wonderful success

be discouraged, however stormy the
heavens, however dark the way, how

fortune has played false with thee to-
day, do thou play true for myself to-
morrow. If an unfortunate bargain
has deranged thy business, do not
fold thy arms and give up all as lost,
but stir myself and work the more
vigorously. Let the foolishness of
yesterday make thee wise To-Day. Ii
another has been false to thee, do not

1t is stated that a farmer near
Wytheyille, Va, sold his crop of
thirty-two acres of cabbage, aggre-
eating about 100000 heads, to a
Memphis firm at two cents pound,
yielding him $4,000. That is an
average of 1915 per acre. This beats
cotton or almost any other crop.

You are we'll of when you are in a

to eat and drink, comfortable, well

you are paying all your expenses and
laying up something even slowly

all this, acquiring knowledge and
strengthening your character and

The train on the Southern Pacific
road, four miles east of Elpaso, Tex
as, was tagged down on the evening
of the 10Th inst, and the engineer
stopped the train. Immediately three
men ran up and hurled a dynamite
bomb at the door OF the mail car.
The door was badly shattered and
the mail agent considerably shaken
up, but he recovered sufficient to
seize double barrelled shot gun,

peared in the doorway to fill him full
of buckshot. He fell dead and his
two companions started away as fast
as they could run. The mail agent
fred a second barrel at them and kill

woods. The plucky mail agent was
praised on oil sides.

John Buckley of Meriden, Conn,
caught a swapping turtle and took it
to the central telephone office, where
he purposed killing it with electrici-
ity. He let the turtle snap at one
end OF the wire, put another wire be-
meath its shell, and turned on the
full strength OF the current. He
AYERS that he "heard the current 90
through it, making noise like a
planning machine" and he left the
turtle TOR dead. The next morning
he found the turtle walking around
and swapping at wires, as though it
wanted another taste of the current.

HOME INDUSTRIES.

1t is clearly evident to most Ameri-
cans that the advantage of this coun-
try lies in multiplying domestic in
dustries, rather than in diminishing
them. Every new industry that can
be maintained, which supplies want
felt by the people, is clear gain in
every way, as employing workmen,
keeping profits at home, using mate
rails produced here, paying wages
that are spent here, and tending TO
make us industrially independent.
The very highest form OF national
life is that which exists with the
widest possible Investigation of in
dustry. England suffers to-day be-
cause she has intensified her manu-
features and neglected to cultivate
her soil thoroughly. Ireland and
India suffer because they have agri-
culture without manufactures. We
give our people chance in every
direction, and so we possess the high
est prosperity and the most national
life.

Col. Coke of North Carolina, has
the most comprehensive and Impair
tial war record of any man in the
country. He began service in the
Southern army; then, to protect his
Inheritance, he gained the consent Of
the State authorities TO procure
substitute and visit Pennsylvania.
Arrived there, he was soon drafted
into the Union army, but again pro-
curing a substitute, and, letting the
two hired patriots fight it out be-
tween them, he went to Europe. His
record is thus succinctly summed up
by correspondent OF the Boston
Herald: ale fought on both sides,
simultaneously, and yet at the same
time was in Europe. lie was killed

A few years ago cotton seed were
considered of but little value, and
were not reckoned at all as a part of
the cotton crop. After saving enough
seed to plant, and some to feed to
cattle, the remainder were thrown
out to rot and waste. At that time
the lint was the only thing to which
any value was attached, and if the
farmers received 10 cents per pound
for it, he considered it good price.
More recently the seed have become
valuable for various purposes, and
there is alwoys ready market for
them and they will command the
cash as readily as lint. The seed in
every bale OF cotton is now worth at
least four dollars, and this, added to
the value of bale of lint, will make
about one cent per pound, which at
present prices would be about 81
cents. But farmers generally retain
from fourth to third of their seed
tor planting and stock food. 1t is
reasonable TO say that the seed will
add Ut least halt cent in the price
